摘要: Abstract Copper(II) complexes of a N-octylated bisbenzimidazolyl ligand are synthesized and characterized. These carry out the oxidative dealkylation 2,4,6-tri-tertbutylphenol (TTBP) using molecular oxygen to 2,6-ditertbutylbenzoquinone 4,6-di-tertbutylbenzoquinone. The oxidation proceeds via phenoxyl radical species detected spectrophotometrically, by EPR. A reactive copper(II)-dioxygen is involved that carries reaction. comparison rates formation 4,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone versus 2,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone suggests alternative pathway may exist for para-quinone derivative. Isolation an intermediate 4,4′-peroxybis(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone its structural characterization supports above contention.
